Universe Bowl VII: Post 14

I suppose this proves there is always two sides to every story. Something we found in the archives.

Playoff Fever!

A nother year is coming to an end for what the outsiders call “The Fantasy Fantasy League”.
With two rounds of playoff matchups in the books, The Universe Bowl is once again upon us and
as luck would have it, our wonderful home will play host for the seventh year in a row!! Crews
are already working around the clock to clean up the mess from a couple of thrilling conference
finals matches. While some critics might argue that these constant battles are pointless, I like to
see all the positive things that these matches bring to our planet. Increases in jobs and tourism do
nothing but stimulate our economy and reinforce our position as the premier fictional fighting
destination in the galaxy.

Over the next few weeks, our planet will accept the incoming waves of combatants and watchers
for this year’s Universe bowl. Governor Morris has approved over 10,000 jobs to unemployed
citizens to rebuild the infrastructure of our city regions. Botanists are being flown in to repair the
damage done to the natural habitat. The amount of bars and restaurants has been doubled in the
downtown district from years past to accommodate this year’s list of watchers for the event. You
thought the teams were the worst thing to hit this place, just wait until Greeny and Seeney are
full of bourbon and freestyle rapping. Hide yo’ kids, Hide yo’ wives.

This event brings more than just teams and watchers to the planet to spend their hard earned
credits. Fans from all over have come to watch the carnage. Just listen to the positive vibes I got
from talking to some of the people on the street!

            “The Universe Bowl is superfragilisticexpialidocious! That’s what my nanny Mary
             always told me! Excuse me, I have to get back to playing soccer and drinking tea.” -
             RobC, London.

            “Godzilla stepped on my house last year and I got a brand new one for free!” -local
             resident

            “Huhhuhuhuh. Like, I love bowls man!” -Shaggy

            “ARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH!” -Chewbacca

While talking to people on the street, I also got word of an underground movement that is trying
to disrupt the Universe Bowl this year. I brought this up to the Chief of Police, Deputy Dawg,
and he informed me that while he is aware of the rumors and looked into the evidence, he was
certain that this group is “very minor and of no consequence”.

While the Universe Bowl and the Fantasy Fantasy League has its critics, I think most of the
planet is abuzz with excitement and anxiously awaiting another epic battle!
